Smith VICE-PRESIDENT: Neil Jackman SECRETARY: Gordon L. Wilson TREASURER: Godfrey E. Moore Minutes of the monthly meeting held on Sunday, October 10, 1999 at 767 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY The Meeting was convened at 1:20pm under the chairmanship of Lloyd Houston, Vice-president. IN ATTENDANCE: Kemaul Ally Frank Denbow Mohamed Karimullah Aubrey Smith Keith Blue Doret Edmonds Wayne King Vernley Ward Larry Boxhill Oswald Edwards Leon Kingston Karen Wharton Patrick Bradshaw Derrick Husbands Godfrey Moore Gordon Williams Lance Chase Michael Jones Deoki Pestano Gordon Wilson Apologies for Absence: Maxine Grant; Neil Jackman; Vishnu Mahadeo; Carlotta Waterman. 1. CALL TO ORDER and OPENING REMARKS: Chairman welcomed everyone to this, the first monthly meeting since the new Executive took office in September. Agreed without dissent that today's meeting would follow an earlier-circulated agenda. 2. ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES OF AUGUST 8 MEETING: Adopted without amendment on a motion by F. Denbow, seconded by K. Blue. 3. CURRENT ISSUES: (a) Meeting with Guyana's President: A report on the brunch meeting, which took place in Brooklyn on Saturday, October 2, was presented by M. Karimullah. President again renewed a government pledge to have G$100M budgeted next year for the rebuilding effort. He noted that architectural plans were being prepared to have the school restored to its pre-fire state. He was also presented with a gift and made an honorary member of the New York Chapter. Two of his advisors have promised to contact N. Jackman regarding the government's formal education plans. The Secretary, among others, strongly objected to the conferring of honorary membership on the President. Disagreed with the notion that it was "just something symbolic", but represents an uncharacteristic entry into our Association which, in his opinion, ought to be held as sacred as the institution which spawned it. Such membership therefore should not be "given away" on the basis of one's prominence in society or on promises made to the Association, but rather should be earned. He would prefer to see fulfilled promises becoming criteria for conferring honorary membership. Agreed, after the ensuing debate, that the relevant clause in the Constitution will be revisited and amended as appropriate. In his presentation, M. Karimullah noted that President Jagdeo "joined his predecessors Arthur Chung, Forbes Burnham, Cheddie Jagan and Sam Hinds as alumni of the New York Chapter". Secretary advised that those gentlemen were never members of the New York Chapter, but were eligible to become members by virtue of the fact that they were Queen's College alumni. Jagdeo is therefore the only head of state with membership in the New York Chapter. Noted and will be corrected. (M. Karimullah) (b) Plans for Social/Fund Raising Activities: ¨ Christmas Party, 1999: Organizing Secretary presented proposals from several prospective venues approached. Agreed that the maximum return for our effort can be derived from the Chateau Royale. A committee comprising the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer and Organizing Secretary will meet with Chateau's management before the end of this week to formalize and conclude arrangements. (G. Wilson) ¨ Formal Ball, 2000: The event will again be held Easter Saturday (April 22), 2000 and will follow the format of previous events. Venues to be researched include: Holiday Inn, JFK (F. Denbow); Radison, JFK (M. Karimullah); Glen Terrace (M. Karimullah/D. Edmonds); Chateau Royale (M. Karimullah/G. Wilson). A firm venue to be announced by next meeting. ¨ Family Fun Day: This will again be held in the summer of 2000. President will again finalize arrangements with the management of Avenel Park, New Jersey. (N. Jackman). Vice-president to investigate the possibility of including the Alumni Associations of BHS, St. Rose's and St. Joseph's. (L. Houston) ¨ Q.C.-BHS Labor Day Sunday Bar-B-Q: Both Associations are actively searching for a suitable venue for next year's BBQ. Members asked to communicate possibilities to the Secretary. (G. Wilson) Securing a Building: Generally agreed that the time is now right to start addressing the possibility of purchasing a building for meetings and other activities. A sub-committee comprising D. Edmonds, M. Jones, M. Karimullah and G. Wilson will explore this with the following considerations: 1. Building type/location. 2. Cost considerations, including payment and maintenance. 3. Economic uses. 4. Joint venture with another organization (perhaps BHS?). 5. Possibility of securing the donation of a building, perhaps as a tax write-off? (d) Joint liaison with the BHS Alumni Association: Noted that the BHS Association is about to contract with someone in Guyana to act as an intermediary for its projects with its school. The New York Chapter will pay that person a salary. BHS has offered to have that person also act on our behalf on matters regarding Queen's College, at a cost to us. Will liaise with BHS to get more details. (L. Houston) (e) Washington, DC Chapter: Unable to contact Mr. Grant in the DC area. Will however meet with some alumni from that area during upcoming trip to Guyana, and will try to set up a meeting for November. (G. Williams) (f) Member Profiles/Membership Drive : The need to have more paid up and active members was recognized. An improvement in attendance at monthly meetings was also noted, but agreed that more is required, given the current growth stage of the Association and plans for the future. Suggested and agreed that the Association's Mission need to be restated as a marketing tool, so as to remove all negative perceptions. Will actively pursue the compilation of a data base of skills and qualifications possessed by current members. (L. Boxhill/M. Jones) (g) Committee Meetings: Agreed that a formal meeting of the Executive Committee will be held one week prior to the monthly meetings. Agreed also that a formal financial statement will be presented to the general membership at each monthly meeting. (G. Moore) The Vice-president took this opportunity to laud the leadership of Immediate Past President, Aubrey Smith and to convey to him the Association's gratitude for his sterling contribution to the growth and prominence achieved over the past few years. 4. OLD BUSINESS: ¨ Book of Records : Electronic preparation of this continues with scanning by L. Houston. Expected to be completed in a month. Those pages already completed will shortly be circulated for proof reading. (L. Houston) 5. NEW BUSINESS: Welcome extended to Messrs Patrick Bradshaw ('68-'75; "E" House), and Derrick Husbands ('62-'70; "H" House). 6. CLOSING REMARKS: The next meeting will be held on Sunday, November 14, 1999 at 767 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, commencing 12:30pm. The meeting terminated at 3:55pm with the singing of the School Song. Gordon L. Wilson SECRETARY .

This article extracts from a statement reputedly made by Minister for Forestry Robert Persaud (according to Demerara Waves internet radio) about the acquisition of logging concessions totalling nearly 738,000 ha by Vaitarna Holdings Private Inc. (VHPI), a subsidiary of Coffee Day Limited of India, which is a coffee shop chain of the Starbucks type. Coffee Day Limited formed a subsidiary enterprise to make all kinds of domestic and commercial office furniture to satisfy the booming market in India. Minister Persaud’s reputed statement was not on the Ministry of Agriculture’s website on 08 April. According to this reputed statement, the State Forest Exploratory Permit (SFEP) issued in 2007 to Simon & Shock Inc. was suspended in 2009 and transferred to VHPI. In the same year, the Timber Sales Agreement (TSA) of Caribbean Resources Ltd., a subsidiary of CLICO insurance company in Trinidad, was rescinded by the Guyana Forestry Commission. However, having been allocated in 1989 for 15 years, the TSA had been incorrectly extended year by year since 2004. This TSA was awarded non-competitively in 2010 also to VHPI.

The balloting came two years later than originally scheduled. On at least two occasions during the previous two years, authorities cancelled tentatively-scheduled elections due to reported irregularities in voter registration lists. (For previous coverage see NotiSur, 11/27/91, 12/11/91, 06/30/92.) More than 380,000 persons were registered for the Oct. 5 elections. On election day, voter abstention was estimated at about 20%. Under Guyana's current electoral regulations, voters choose between lists of candidates presented by the various parties. The head of the party which receives the highest number of votes becomes president. The president in turn chooses a prime minister. The People's National Congress (PNC) party, which has ruled the country for the past 28 years, has repeatedly been accused of electoral fraud.

  • President Janet Jagan's Address to the Nation, First Broadcast on GBC at 17:00 Hours Yesterday
    President's Message President Jagan's address THE following is the text of President Janet Jagan's address to the nation, first broadcast on GBC at 17:00 hours yesterday. THE time has now come for me to take a decision, which I have been considering over the past month. When I became ill on the eve of my return from Rio de Janeiro Summit of leaders of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean, I spent a little time in hospital and then had medical tests in Trinidad. From these, I was advised to seek further tests abroad, and then proceeded to the USA where I was under the care of a Guyanese doctor whom I have known since his childhood. Despite the assurances that my condition is not life threatening, I found that my energy and stamina have been seriously reduced. I considered at length and consulted close colleagues on the question of my continuing in office as President. It is now my firm and studied conclusion that I can no longer offer to the nation the vigorous and strong leadership that I had sought to provide during my 20 months as the lawfully and duly elected President of the Republic of Guyana. I, therefore, wish to announce that I intend to resign my position as President and to fulfil the promise I made during the 1997 election campaign. At the time, the PPP/Civic had announced the concept of the 'A' Team, made up of myself, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and Finance Minister, Bharrat Jagdeo. It was stated at public meetings and through campaign material that should anything happen to the President, clear cut means would be used to replace the President by the third member of the 'A' Team, Bharrat Jagdeo, with the Prime Minister retaining his position in the post allotted to the Civic component of the PPP/Civic alliance.

  • The Case of Guyana
    Environmental Protection Efforts in a Developing Country: The Case of Guyana V. Chris Lakhan A. S. Trenhaile P. D. LaValle University of Windsor, Canada ..................................... This paper demonstrates that after decades of environmental resource exploitation, degradation and contamination of Guyana's environment, the government, democratically elected on October 5, 1992, inherited a legacy of environmental problems which include the cumulative adverse effects of unbridled logging and mining, heavy metal contamination of soils and sediments, poisoning of water resources, pesticide contamination, highly polluting liquid and solid wastes, and losses of life sustaining ecological resources. To deal with potential environmental problems and to take remedial actions toward existing problems the government, for the first time in Guyana's history, enacted environmental protection legislation, passed environmentally-related acts and laws, and embraced sustainable development goals. While various acts and laws are aimed at environmental protection, this paper, nevertheless, emphasizes that environmental degradation and contamination will continue unabated unless the government addresses several constraints, among them administrative neglect and unethical practices, fragmented environmental institutions, inadequate monitoring and enforcement capabilities, inherited foreign debts, irresponsible environmental practices of multinationals, and a paucity of environmental education programs. Ever since Sir Walter Raleigh fired the imagination
